The plan template (templates/plan-template.md:21) emits plan_version ONLY in
the prose blockquote metadata line:
> Generated by trekplan v{version} on {YYYY-MM-DD} — `plan_version: 1.7`
It carries no frontmatter plan_version (the frontmatter block is trekreview-only
and holds source_findings). But PLAN_VERSION_REGEX in lib/parsers/plan-schema.mjs
was `^`-anchored (/m), matching ONLY line-start (frontmatter). The backtick-
wrapped prose form never matched → extractPlanVersion returned null → every real
generated plan got a spurious PLAN_NO_VERSION warning from plan-validator.
Not caught earlier because no test ran the parser against the actual template;
the synthetic fixtures all carry frontmatter plan_version and parse fine.
Internal source contradiction surfaced: the parser comment documents intent
"frontmatter OR doc body", planning-orchestrator.md:228 + the template place it
in the prose line, while HANDOVER-CONTRACTS.md calls it a frontmatter field.
Operator-chosen fix (parser, not template): relax the regex to
`/(?:^|`)plan_version:.../m` so it matches line-start (frontmatter) OR the
backtick-prefixed prose form. Honors the parser's own documented contract,
fixes all existing + future plans, changes no plan output, touches one code
file — vs the template-fix which would alter every plan's shape, contradict
planning-orchestrator.md, and force a 3-file doc reconciliation (scope creep).
TDD (red first): added prose-form + canonical-template regression pins in
plan-schema.test.mjs and a no-PLAN_NO_VERSION pin in plan-validator.test.mjs;
all 3 red on the `^`-anchored regex, green after the relax. The template pin
ties the parser directly to the real generated artifact.

Dogfooded /trekplan->/trekexecute on a real feature (voyage-doctor) against
a pre-registered scorecard. Q1: happy path produces a good, executable plan
but not self-sufficient (plan-critic C/71 vs self-score B+/88). Q4 DEMONSTRATED:
the adversarial review caught 3 real majors the planner+swarm missed, none in
the oracle — defects lived in plan->execute handoff fidelity. scope-guardian
ALIGNED. Caveats: n=1, oracle leaked into the swarm (pre-reg committed in the
explored repo), no cost measured.
Surfaced a MAJOR pipeline defect: /trekplan Phase 9 tells plan-critic +
scope-guardian to write JSON to /tmp for the dedup helper, but both agents
have only Read/Glob/Grep (no Write) -> the dedup step cannot run as documented.
Recorded as new backlog, not fixed (S22 scope was measurement).

Locks the ground-truth control BEFORE running /trekplan, so Q4 (does the
adversarial review catch real bugs?) is scored as recall against a fixed
target, not post-hoc. Feature under test: voyage-doctor (project-coherence
validator). Expected plan + 7 pre-registered real risks (R1-R7) + scoring
rubric. Input brief lives in gitignored .claude/projects/; its SC/NG are
embedded verbatim in this doc so the control is reproducible.
